Update.Interviewer gave me a verbal approval ( are they supposed to stamp your passport or something?) said they will call if they need anything, but everything seemed to be in order. It was short (15 mins). She told I should get the card in the next 6 weeks ( minimum).

WOW!! you r the lucky one!
congratulations!!!
 
Oh wow congrats...You actually got your interview appointment before you did you biometrics...I did my biometrics on the 13th as well but still awaiting my interview letter...I guess this just goes to show that there is no specific way they schedule people for these things...

Congrats again!!!
 
Congrats E2b. Curious to know. Where was your field office? What was your status before adjustment?


I also called USCIS to put in a service request for my biometrics appointment letter today. They said since it has been more than 30 days they can put in the request. I plan to go to go to my local field office either tomorrow or Monday so i can get the I 131 application speeded up.

congratulations E2B!!

I must confess that I am envious... please send us October early filers who have yet to receive our biometrics notices some positive green vibes!

:D
 
I got back from work today and there it was waiting for me...

A letter from my local office with an interview scheduled for December 15th. I am still yet to get a letter for my biometric appointment but put in a service request over the phone today. I am also still waiting to hear about my I-131 and I-765.

My only question now is will I be able to travel out of the country on December 17th to get home for christmas? Either with my I-131 or somehow by being approved for my greencard. Any one have an idea on this one?

That's great...that's a sign of progress. I would be very happy if I'd have got a interview letter. but...:(

this is great, finally
does that mean that they are scheduling interview appointments without biometrics

I guess, you could go tomorrow and get more details about your case...and also can schedule another infopass later if needed. Right?

Given the experiences that other DV-08 winners had (not my personal experience - for instance, ruxy ~ end of feb. 08), if everything is in order and you're approved on 12/15, they will stamp your passport with the temporary permanent resident visa which you can use while coming back in the US. Make sure you tell them about your upcoming travel (i guess ... at the interview).

Good luck and Congratulations !!

ps. I strongly believe that you'll still have to get your biometrics done. I don't think they'll approve any case without the security checks (fingerprints, name checks, etc.).

congratulations Ausmatt7- that is wonderful news! I hope to have the same surprise one of these days...
 
Hi everybody,

This seems to be a great forum, people helping each other out with their own experience. I was wondering, is anybody here a lawyer or all of you guys are DV participants? I am just starting the process.

Good luck to everyone!

I am a lawyer but Immigration Law is NOT my field of expertise so I consider myself a layperson for purposes of this forum...
